Understanding 2-5-1 Progressions

Comments Off

If you listen to music, you have definitely heard a 2-5-1 progression. They are found in just about any type of music regardless of style, genre, or rhythmical pattern. It is commonly the series of chords that end a song or phrase. In this chord progression, the 2 chord leads to the 5 chord which in turn, produces a strong pull towards the ending chord (which is usually the 1st major chord of the scale).
